On Wednesday evening fast as the day was closing, and the sun was sinking in the West, the life of Jesse A. Gladden, one of our best citizens, passed away. Mr. Gladden was on the streets, and had been a spectator in the Court House during the day, and no one thought he should be taken away so soon. The news of his death f . a. YT was a great shock to nis inenas. xie had just gone home for the evening. It is supposed that he had heart disease, though apparently he wa? a sonnd man. Mr. Gladden was about sixtythree years of age, an excellent citizen, and a membe: of the Methodist Church. He went through the war, and leaves behind him the record of a brave Confederate soldier. His wife and a number of children survive him. His remaius were taken to Bethesda Church, near Mr. Gkdden's old home, for interment on Friday. RELIGIOUS STATISTICS.

Bjyce's Bi? Weeklies, the Saturday Blade and Chicago Ledger, have been fcard from again. The enterprising publishers of these papers have recently tlgone into color work"?tbat is, they have added (o their immense establishment in Chicago, a complete outfit of machinery, apparatus, etc., for (he productions of colored pictures, such as have made several New Yoik dailies famous.} The Boyce Company are constantly - - 1 iV- A fAA AAA studying now 10 piea?e me s,uw,wu readers of (heir weeklies, and this recent effort has cost them upward of $30,000. If this is not enterprise then we are not familiar with the definition. The Saturday Blade is now sixteen papes in size. The old Blade is there intact, folded inside an eight-page supplement containing three full-page colored illustrations, original in design and of the highest artistic development. The Saturday Blade is a newspaper, magazine, and comic illustrated weekly, all in one. Each issue of the Chicago Ledger contains the best stories of adventure, ~ 1 L - 1-3 action, history, Diograpoy, nguseuuu recipes, and miscellaneous reading matter that is possible lor time, money, or experience to get. Tbe Ledger is profusely illustrated, some of the illustrations being in bright color?, tbe like of which has never been offered to lovers of good ind interesting reading matter. The Ledger is a greatest of all weekly family story papers, containing 24 pages, including the Young Folks' department, edited in the interests of the juvenile population. The Chicago Ledger is safely the lcaaing Family Story Paper of America. Boyce's Big Weeklies are for sale by newsboys and at ne.vs-stands. PLEASANT NEWS. A few dots from this place might not be out order at this t:me. We hear no more of "I wish it would rain," for it is falling in torrents. Mother earth is thoroughly i-j tti 1- ??vi,. s&iunuuu. rami wui& is tuusiuciau^ behind. A good deal of oats to be sown yet. Although as soon as the weather will permit, we look for a general stir among the farmers. Health is generally pretty good, notwithstanding the grippe has had a hold on nearly every family in this comrauniU. There was a little shooting scrape here on the 18;h infct, which was something new for this vicinity. Deputy Beckham went to serve a warrant on a negro man named Arthnr Mack. On presentation of the warrnni, the ne^ro indicated vlolenc?, and said with an oath that he would die in preference to being arrested, and began to defend bims;lfwith a chair, apparently with some success. Then Beckham fired two shots; one took (fleet in the face of the neyro. though not fatal. The negroes seem to be stirred up. Some made threats, especially the younger ones, or in other words those who don't seem to know of auy law, or if they d<> want to evade it. Just the idea of a fugitive not submitting to the la*/ and attempting violence upon the person of an officer of the law! In my opinion he should be brought to justice. If there is no way to compel him, others will fo low his example. We are glad to see the cotton mill so near completion. Hope ;t will prove to be a boom for Fairfield County. If we just had a r..i'road extention from the South Bound, running through Winnsboro, then Winn?boro woukl soon be second to no other county seat. February 19, 1897. vr. a b Marvelous Results. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gunherican, of Dimoadale, Mich,, we are permitted to make this extract: "I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King's Xew Diseoverv. as the results were almost ! marvelous in the case of my wife. Whil I was pastor of the Baptist Church at Rives Junction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughintr would l ist hours with little interruption"aod it seemed as if she could not survive them.

Ti i?, like former exhibits made bv that company, will include sample specimens of mineral, agricultural, forest a d other products of the States of Virginia, Xorth and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, East Tennessee and Kentucky. This company's exhibit at the Atlanta and Piltsbnrg Expositions attracted the attention of the agriculturist, manufacturer, miner, stock-raiser aDd others, and did more to educate the I visitors to an appreciation of the great wealth and possibilities of the South than any other one exhibit that was show:i, and it is the policy cf the company to actively continue this method of advertising. The scenic beauties cf the country through which the Southern Railway runs will not be neglect.-d in this inhibit.

So much rain has fallen of late, that the ground is too wet for ploughing. A few more dry windy diys, like the past two or throe, will probably render it dry enough to commence. Gaidens haven't b.en planted yet, owing to th-i unfavorable weather. There will, in all probability, be a great many vegetables planted dur.iug the incoming week. Farmers are now busily engaged repairing fences, terraces, ditches,'and burning brush and log?. Scarcely a night pa-ses but what the heavens are lit up by the reflection from the burning logs anil brush. My wish and earnest pra\er is that we id ay all be amply repaid for our labors. Hon. J. D. Harrison has purchased a saw miU and set it up in connection with bis gin ery and gnsf. mill. He has secured iuc services v. Mr. John Gibson, a well kuowu sawmill man of this section, and is now prepared to furnish first class lumber, in any amount, a: reasonable prices. Mr. Jas.

BAPTIST RESOLUTIONS APPROVED. Mr. Editor: Allow me a epace ij your paper a ;:e\v dols. It is gl mray to-day anl I feel gloomy as the day.

If ih'.'j had t-iken the step sooner it would have be-n a blessing. It is the professing Christian that keeps up the liquor traffic, the bill ro^mo, and the wurldly affairs in general. A young man, a Methodise, told me this morning if the young nen did not lake a dri.ik, and use big words they did not take well with girls. Mothers, teach your boys that gir's who put in time with such young ) men are not ladies; also leach your) daughters that young tnen that will go in laaie-.' company with the smell of j liquor about their person have no re s::ect for tbem-clvcs or iheir company, and are not fir for a lady to be with. If thi-s young man's stuemen' is tine, girl?, where will yon stand in the judgment? Now, girl-, to prove this false put away snch company, and get the praise. I know a man that never took a drink of anything that was intox'cating in his life, whether he had a big time or not. lie Jis.s a nice wife and several daughters, wh? will be nice ladies. What cau a church member promise himself, wi,.- is i stumbling stone in the sinner's path? lie is responsible for his broth'-r's sins. How will he meet his God? Some day he ba, to *taDd iu the judgment without his drink: the young man can't get a drink to have a big time with the girls, and wha: will the gins do wnen God calls on those nice yotwff ladies who a'low empty-headed, cow-hearted foil ?ws to staud or sit with them, Mnoking cigars or the filthy cigarette in their face. Girl?, you can marry wiihout all of this, and your husband will have more respect for you. I am sorry to hear anything of girls, as I Lave a niece among the lair sex. 1 ?m an old bachelor, and a member ol the Baptist Church. The boys like my company; tell me a good many yarns. X never drink anything stronger than milk and water, so I will be a Baptist as long as I urn spared, ana get or without it as well, I hope. Some good member will answer me frorr some other church.

We have haa S3 much rain siccc Christmas that there has been bnl little work done on tie farms in the way of preparing land. There has been a cons"derive quantity ol fertilizers i.auled from the railroad at Deleney's crossing for this neighborhood; and more to follow. The roads are in a terrible condition, but we can expect nothing else from so much rain and tiave!. JNotnmg done a? yet dv way oi gardening. There has been less grain sown this season tha j usual, owing to too much rain, and it is now too late to sow, only on strong knd, and then < ,erything will depend upon a seasonable spring as to whether you are paid for your trouble and seed. Mr. G. B.

Something rather suspicious; to (he curious need not be surprised if they hear of something pleasant taking place after awhile. We had the pleasure of attending Court one day and seeing his old colleague, his Honor Judge Osmond W. Buchanan preside, and was pleased to see hiii so much at home on the bench. We wish the Judge success, and may he wear the ermine with dignity and pride io himself and with honor to his county. It is with sadness that I am called upon to report the death of one ot our esteemed friends and neighbors, Mrs. Trapp, wife of Mr. U. C. Trapp, which occurred on Monday morning February 22. She suffered affliction for near two months, and bore her affliction wilb Christian fortitude, never murmuring or complaining. She received the untiring attention of her husband and daughters, Misses Rebecca and Challie. Mrs. Trapp was a consistent member of tbe Presbyterian Church at Horeb, and died in ithe faith. Her remains were laid to rest in the family barying ground at the old Trapp place, near Crooked Run Church. The burial was attended by a large concourse of relatives and friends, who Trent to pay their last respects to the memory of the deceased andjnn in mingling the sympathetic tears with tbe bereft ones. They have the sympathy of the whole community in their sad bereavement. We are glad (o report some improvement in the condition of Maj. B. II. Robertson. t. b m. February 26,1S97.
